Interesting Services at the First
Presbyterian Church.

Last Sunday was set apart for
children's day, at the above church
and services of quite an interesting
character were held. The morning
was devoted to an impressive sermon
to the children and parents, which
was highly appreciated. In the after
noon the children were addressed by
Mr.. May, whose text was "Learn of
Me-" The exercises were interspers-
ed with singing and reading, and
were highly instructive as we'll as
enjoyable. Mrs. M. N. Roach pre-
scented the Sunday School with q
life size portrait ofJudge ]. 1. Landes,
who has acted in the capacity OF
superintendent for several years. The
picture was by New York artist,
and was a surprise to tho school.

Turnpike Construction

In the absence of Mr. Il. D. Spur
Engineer Of tho Turnpike Company,
who was called away Tuesday, 10y
the illness Of his father. Mr.. A. V.
Townes, accompanied by Sam O.
Mercer, Jr, Willie Nourse and
Archie Cant began on Wednesday
morning 10 plant the stakes for the
contractors guidance along the road
to Fairview. Mr. Howard, of A. b
Howard & Co., the contractors who
have tho work in charge, arrived
Tuesday from Jacksonville, Indiana,
TO make arrangements for beginning
work at once. The contractor comes
well recommended as competent and
reliable, having long experience and
is well equipped for the business.
The road will be turnpiked to the
corporate limits of Fairview. 1t
runs through all excellent farming
country and is one of the most valu-
able feeders of the Hopkinsvillc Mar
kct.
1t will be of immense benefit to
the whole country along the line and
will enable travel and traffic to go on
without Interruption in the worst
seasons Of the year. Farmers will be
able 10 haul produce here when the
weather win not permit other out
door labor. The distance from the
Asylum gate to the western limits of
Fairview is S1s miles by the Engi-
neer's measurement There is an album
dance of rock along the entire line,
and II occupies the road bed for COIL
siderable distances. 1t will not be
long before farmers and tesmsters
will make this turnpike frequent
topic of conversation and they will
wonder how they ever managed TO
get along without 1t. The opposers
of turnpikes may as well make up
their minds TO take back seat with
the oppo'ers of newspapers, school
houses, reapers, mowers and other
modern improvements. 1t is pity
that men should be so ignorant as TO
fight against the worlds progress,
but it cannot be helped. The world
will manage to get along without
them. Men of enterprise will soon
cease TO heed their grumbling, and at
last from sheer fatigue the grumblers
will cease to make noise. The
turnpikcs will ovcrpower all opposi-
ton and soon be immensely popular.

Mr.. John w. Logsden, the agent
for the L. & N. at this point has now
been in our midst about a year, and
we can truly say that no young man

1t is said by medical authorities that
cheerfulness at meals is a great
promoter of health, and that what
ever increases agreeable social inter.
course at table is therefore a matter of
practical Importance. In fact one Of
the strongest pleas in favor of dinner
parties, large or small, public or pri-
vate, is the fact of social intercourse
at and after dinner being favorable to
health. tits pronounced by high au.

A Dignified Rebuke,

The President has done what anv
sensible, self-respecting person does
when he is invited to party and finds
out that his presence will be distasteful
toa part OF the family. He has de-
cllned the invitation to St. Louis. The
futile crowd can have it all their own
way now, for the President of the
United States thinks too much of the
dignity of his position to mix with
them. We imagine they will feel CHEAP.
They judged Cleveland by the standard
OF the ordinary swashbuckling Repub-
l'can politician, and thought he
couldn't stay away frsn St. Louis.
